I miss the pre-Trump America, the one that sent 24,500 troops and 24 ships to help Japan in the rescue efforts after the great Tsunami disaster of 2011. That was the America that could stand tall in the world by its actions, not its threats, bluster and blather.
I can't believe I helped Trump. I can't believe I fell for it...I see the light...

Pete Hegseth: “Let’s make the flu a threat again!”
Apparently, “readiness” now means making our troops as vulnerable as they were in 1918. Bold move.
All a game... some are making a (steal) killing!
So wrong.

I am begging every Senate Democrat to vote against confirmation of this clown. Take a stand. Don't try to triangulate. This is an easy call.
